Extremely strong timing set for a 427?
Extremely strong timing set for a 427? Hey guys, i have a friend with fairly nasty 427(C5R/MTI topend)which makes in the area of 580+whp/565+wtq...He has been having an issue with timing chains in the past year....
He first broke a Rollmaster double, and was then instructed by MTI to go with a LS2 set that they installed. Well low and behold he broke that unit yesterday....
What chain/gearset would you reccomend for a "bulletproof", reliable timing assembly?
TIA

I agree that something else is wrong. Sounds like cam walk to me. I personally have a JP performance billet double roller from Australia, which seems to be a extremley nice piece, but I would first check the cams end play before installing another one.
